Resume question

And, for the love of all that is holy, please don't use Comic Sans! Nothing screams "wannabe-cutesy-but-totally-unprofessional" like that font!

Ditto to the -ed words on the resume. Active voice is your friend...

Even for a recruitment document? Really? This just seems pretty intense to me.


ETA: I totally agree with the people who said to describe your activities and honors. Especially for the women you are asking for recs, it allows them to describe you and your accomplishments so much better. And as FSUZeta notes, more information allows the chapter to do a better job recruiting you.
